Bio Data Fillable: Fill & Download for Free

I posit that the author of the article is an alarmist. This is the kind of stuff comes from "naturalist believers" and their dedicated disciples.Firstly, not all Keurigs have a non-dumpable reservoir. Mine does not have such a system and I can completely empty and dry the unit.Secondly, IF one is worried about stuff accumulating in the water tank, start by pre-cleaning the tank with commercial reagent that removes oils, destroys cells (of bacteria & molds), and dusts and any plastic residues left from manufacturing. Run a tank or two of known clean water through without using the cups, and you're fairly assured that intrusion by bacteria and molds will be minimal.I clean the coffee sludge and oils that get stuck in the cup holder about every other cup and give all the parts through and over which water flows a swab with an alcohol-dosed cotton swab and then swab with a dry cotton swab.Thirdly, are any of these bio films harmful? No evidence of this was provided in the article. I suspect that if it were as toxic as anecdotally claimed in the article and so many of these devices installed in offices, waiting rooms, bed & breakfasts, and homes that we would have had a statistically significant number of people getting ill showing up in the medical journals (epidemiological and environmental health) and subsequently blown out of proportion by the news media. So far, after a decade of building up the numbers of installed units...not a peep.Now, consider this: many modern (within the decade) traditional coffee makers use a very similar water containment and distribution systems. Have medical professionals been inundated by coffee drinkers sickened by pathogenic bacteria and fungi over the last decade? I am thinking...no.Fourthly, Aluminum foil and Alzheimers are linked? Please...sigh!Any causitive or contributing links between the two were broken years ago after the original accusatory research was re-examined and further data was collected over the next several years. The same thing happened with the other links the author has provided in her list of problems with the K-cups' use of Aluminum and plastic.I have many reasons I do not like the pod-style coffee makers like Keurig and others--mostly to do with the quality of the coffee in the pods, the incredibly high per serving cost of the pods when compared to fresh-roasted, locally obtained, high quality coffee, the too-low brewing temperatures often found in these machines, and the wastefulness of the entire pod/cup concept.What is of almost no concern to me is the growth of pathogenic organisms in the brewing machine.EDIT Feb 12, 2019: I retired my personal Keurig machine some months ago—it is more like well over a year now (could it be 2 years already?). It was not because I was concerned over health & safety related to contaminations or grow of unwanted bacteria or mold, but simply because I could never get a good cup of coffee out of the darned thing (nor any other Keurig I have ever experienced in the homes and businesses of others). This from using commercial K-cups and my own roasts & grinds in re-fillable K-cups. I am no longer interested in anything associated with pod-maker coffee machines; preferring to do simple infusions and pour-overs as my daily habit to achieve really excellent cups of coffee. I will no longer answer any coffee questions related to Keurig or other pod-makers from this point onward.
